If you just go to the Echo Dot page on Amazon, there’s no “order” button. Instead, you’re supposed to pre-order the device from an Amazon Echo. To get around this, open up the Amazon app for iPhone, search for “Echo Dot,” and then swipe right to add the Echo Dot to your card. With that, your preorder is in your cart and you can go ahead and check out. If you’re really pining for that Echo Dot but don’t own a Echo, it’s probably worth getting on this now while you still can. This only works on the iOS app though, as the Android version doesn’t have the swipe gesture to add an item to your card.

Update: Some Android users are having luck using voice commands. Tap the microphone button in the Amazon app, then say, “Add Echo Dot to Cart.” That should take you to your shopping cart. If it’s not working in the main Amazon app, give it a try in the Amazon Underground app instead.
